Man City defender Stones confident he\'s now England first-choice

Published on: 16 November 2017

Manchester City defender John Stones feels he's proved himself an England first-choice.

Stones was happy with his form against Germany and Brazil this past week.

“I think my performances speak for themselves," said the 23-year-old. “I've done my talking out there, wanted to improve.

"You can't argue with two clean sheets against top opposition.

“It's about having a look at yourself, where you can ­improve and not shying away from where you've gone wrong. That's what pushes you to become a better player."

Stones was also happy to act as a mentor to Liverpool youngster this week.

“Everyone wants to ­challenge themselves in ­certain ways. That's what we do in football. From my experiences I try to pass it on to the young lads and give them a few words.

"Like for Joe [Gomez]. It's short and simple, really. You don't want to flood his brain for when he comes out on the pitch.

“That's what I found when I was growing up, playing in big games – I didn't want to be overrun and have too much information."
